Vince Gilligan Teaming Up With Sony To Make Breaking Bad Virtual Reality Experience
Ready to return to the bright and totally pleasant world of yellow hazmat suits and cooking? You might just get the chance to through the power of VR.
According to Variety, Sony is working on an experience based on Breaking Bad. And the creator of the show, Vince Gilligan, is involved in some capacity.
Andrew House,global chief executive of Sony Interactive Entertainment, told the publication that the company brought in several show runners to experiment with VR. House says "And they just played around with VR. Several of them were intrigued, but Vince was the one who said, ‘I really want to do something with this. I want to experiment with this.'”
The project is early in development, with no details about its format or release window. For more details, you can read the full Variety piece here.

Our Take
I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I loved Breaking Bad. I think a VR experience in that setting could be compelling.
